Had this at the brewery and it was a very good porter with big mouthfeel and lovely roasty coffee notes on the finish. It was hot outside and this beer was not the best choice but I still really liked the balance and big feeling for a lowish ABV. Would be great in the winter

Poured into 10oz glass. Poured a dark red color, much lighter than is typical for the style, the beer had no head or lace.

The scent was decent malts with a shot of spicy hops, OK but not special. The above description applies equally to the taste. The body was a bit too thin. Drinkability was OK, but not noticeably memorable.

Overall, a below average beer. Perhaps if they put this brew in a different style category I might rate it higher, but it fails as a porter. Not a bad beer, but not worth seeking out.

It smells of chocolate, slightly smoky malts, caramel and a tad bit of citrus.

It tastes initially quite chocolate like, there is a subdued caramel flavor, a bit of hop bitterness, a mild coffee flavor. The flavor combination is really smooth the flavors of the beer match with each other very well.

The carbonation is moderate low and it adds to the smoothness of the beer.

For a dark beer this is quite drinkable because the flavors blend so nicely with each other I could easily have a few of these.

This is a great porter, it is better on tap but it is still very nice in bottle.

See-thru very deeb ruby brown body with a finger of cream-colored foam. The head reduces to a 1/4 inch skim quickly, but that sticks around til then end. Nice sheets of lace.

This is a bold and robust porter. Burnt malt and coffee up front, followed by a surprising explosion of chocolate chips and tart cherry. A wave of citrusy hops joins the fun during the swallow and battles the burnt malt for attention during the finish. Body is thick and chewy.

The brazenly warm temperature at which Lucky Lab served me this cask-conditioned porter served to enhance the full flavor, body, and taste complexities of a beer I had previously known as a fine-drinking porter on draught. Stumptown is an idiosyncratic amalgamation of peculiar taste modules that include (but are not limited to) dark chocolate, piecrust, whole cream, a palate of cherries, and a lone raspberry  though the taste as a whole is much more than the sum of these parts.

By way of comparison, the draught version of this beer expresses far more traditional elements with more forward leaning roasted properties including roasted barley. Stumptown on cask emphasizes a greater chocolaty profile with a mouthfeel smooth as glass in the absence of CO2.

Thick and earthy with a stubborn head on its shoulders. Dark rich undertone that reminds me or woring on the farm in the dirt. It is so dark it looks like you need to spoon it out and into your mouth. Very little light makes it way through when you hold it up. Not much of an aroma until you sip it.
